natural naguras

[sicknote]

hey,

i've just got my naguras yesterday.

from left to right: botan, mejiro and koma. the koma is really hard and its not easy to build a slurry with it

i've just honed a w&b with my ohzuku and this naguras and got a really nice shave with the razor.

Those are some beautiful stones Timo ...If you don;t mind me asking, who was your source for these?

Nice rocks.

Natural nagura + good J-Nat = wonderful edges. There might be better edges to be had but I can't imagine how to improve on them.

Those are small slurry stones that come from a different mine.
